afiectionate degree in either of the
political parties in this State. Those
Republicans who voted for Camden
have been terribly bemeaned by the
rank and file of their party and they
will not work well in the traces
during the coming campaign. But
the great dissension and dissatis-
faction is among the members of the
Democratic party. Listen to the
following from the Vest Virginia
Democrat:
at will be recollected, n conspi-
racy was formed in Washington,
during the winter of 1888, which
was to be consummatcd at the State
Convention that would appoint del
egates to the National Convention
to nominate Democratic can
didate for President. That conspira-
cy had three objects: (1sD to make
Lewis Baker, of the Wheeling Req.
lister, Chairman of the State Execu-
tive Committee; (2nd) to appoint
Mr.. Clements, Master of Transpor-
tation on the b. & O., and Mr..
Hogeman, attorney for the G. & o.,
delegates to the Convention which
was to nominate our candidate for
President; and (3rd } to prevent, not
only the nomination of Governor
Wilson for Governor, but to nomi-
nate for that office the candidate
selected by railroad managers. For
tunately, this conspiracy, which had
beer kept so secret in Washington,
came to the ears of citizen of Jef-
ferson, and he at once scattered over
this State pamphlet entitled Time
ly Words TO West Virginia Demo
Gratis That pamphlet rallied at
Charleston the body of the party
and the ring was defeated. Next
spring the people of this State will
be better Informed than they ever
have been in the past respecting the
plots and conspiracies to place in
front men who will not betray
Them"
Now listen to the other faction OF
that party and judge for yourself as
to which is right. The
following is from the Standard
Enterprise, paper published at
Grafton:
"There are many worse things to
party than defeat. To be domino
ted by a class of designing and dis
reputable demagogues is one OF
them. The Democrats of the State
are tired of meeting a number of
people IN every session of the Legis-
lature who claim to be the Lord
Amounted, immaculate patriots,
whose chief occupation is to Witty
men great deal better than them
selves, and sweetly roll Up their
eyes heavenward while they descant
on their own virtues and ask the
people to behold the filthiness of
their party and its recognized and
reputable leaders, filthiness which
only exists in their own depraved
and vicious imaginations. We say
in all soberness, that the Democratic
party is tired of meeting these Jim
Masons and Dan Lucas's etaLs, and
would as n whole prefer to go down
to honorable defeat rather than con-
tinue to be harassed with their i'm
Pudent claims and insolent demands.
if by further and continued conces.

animus of their attacks upon their
party is well understood. They are
soreheads, who, having neither the
respect nor confidence of their party,
assume that it is rotten to the core.
and that, unless they are permitted
to reform and control it, it must 90
